CANVAS PROJECT TO FAST-TRACK RESEARCH ON IMMUNE THERAPY FOR NON-SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER

The main objective of CANVAS is to significantly raise the scientific potential and gain new research tools, which will contribute to the progress of research on the therapy of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) initiated by prof. Natalia Marek-Trzonkowska at ICCVS.  A vital part of the project is a joint pilot study, which will allow to select an optimal research model for the assessment of

Study of researches from UG, MUG and UM published in Nature Communications – cells share what they have the best

  The study conceptualization and coordination was performed by prof. Natalia Marek- Trzonkowska, director of ICCVS, UG. All described experiments have been conducted in Poland and were funded from Polish grants. The paper is a part of doctoral thesis of Karolina Piekarska MSc, whose PhD viva is planned soon.   Cell based immunotherapies can provide safe and effective treatment

THE IMPACT OF UPF1 ATP MIMETICS ON THE MUTANT IMMUNOPEPTIDOME – A NEW OPUS PROJECT AT ICCVS

About the research: A critical cellular surveillance mechanism that recognizes and eliminates aberrant mRNAs containing premature termination codons (PTC) is termed as nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). PTCs containing mRNAs are rapidly degraded by the NMD machinery. Active NMD renders many dominant ...
